                • Truck sales on street corners !

                  I see pickups and other big rigs on street corners for sale by the private owners now.
                  Had some comments on our '88 LX Festiva. I tell them it is nice to put 4 gal. gas in 2 or 3 weeks to bomb around town to work and errands .....
                  Regular gas here at $3.47, but I seen on national TV our state, Wyo., is the lowest of the nation in cost per gallon at the moment. April 13.

                    Dang 3.47 That's lowwwww for around here and we are typically average. It's 3.97 right now. I'm very happy with my mpg interstate with my BP. But my morning commute/school commute kills my mpg. Still much better than a 15mpg truck or suv!

                    • Yep, I have seen lots of trucks for sale. Gas was $3.46 a gallon last time I went by the gas station, but I'm sure it has gone up a few cents. I have never had a note left on my car though.

                      • The price just went up this afternoon (April 14) to CD$1.21 per liter which works out to US$4.79 per US gallon at the current exchange rate!

                          • I've never had a note left on my car either, but Festiva and Aspire prices are certainly going up on places like Craigslist around here. Sellers emphasize that gas is going up and so are their little cars!

                            • ^no kidding Karl. I live in a town of about 2500 people. This guy I talked to last night has a 90 L with about $1500 worth of crash damage yet to be done. He said he would have to have $800 out of it because he knows it is worth it because of gas prices. I told him good luck and if he finds he can't get that much give me a call.

                              Your kidding me. Jacking prices on a car, that doesn't drive and prolly never will, because of gas prices!!!
